One Pass vs Two Pass Assemblers Two Pass – Checks for syntax errors and builds the Symbol Table during first pass, resolves operand addresses during second pass. One Pass – Checks for syntax errors, builds the Symbol Table, and resolves operand addresses during the first pass. So why have a two pass?

More than One Object (Load) File Symbol Table Symbols Externals Exports Addresses Start x3000 Number x300A Data ? Value ? The “Linker/Loader” would generate another “global table to resolve Externals & Exports at Load time

Input / Output Memory Mapped I/O – A section of the memory address space is reserved for I/O Registers rather than general memory locations. Think of it as “pseudo” memory. The same instructions are used for general programming and I/O programming. Non-Memory Mapped I/O – There is a separate address space for I/O programming, and an entirely separate set of I/O Instructions.

LC-3 has Memory Mapped I/O LC-3 Memory Layout: x0000 – x00FF Trap vectors x0100 – x2FFF System Programs & Data x3000 – xFDFF User Programs Area xFE00 – xFFFF I/O Programming “Registers”

Synchronous vs Asynchronous I/O Synchronous – data could be expected to be available when the program wanted it – like data in memory. This is not realistic for I/O Asynchronous – computer is generally much faster than I/O so program must wait until data is available or data has been taken. “Handshaking” is used to ensure that data is available or I/O device is ready

Polling vs Interrrupt Driven I/O Polling – program checks handshaking signals to find when data is available of device is done (typically a loop in the program) Interrupt – program initiates I/O and waits until data is available (typically goes to sleep until the operating system wakes the program up)
